The Women's Prize for Fiction has made history by including a trans woman in its 2021 longlist.
Torrey Peters has been listed for her debut novel Detransition, Baby, months after organisers faced fierce criticism for announcing entries will be accepted from anyone 'legally defined' as a woman.
Detransition, Baby follows trans women Reese and Amy as they attempt to navigate forming an unconventional family when Amy de-transitions to become Ames and fathers a child from an affair with his boss Katrina.
In October, organisers of the prestigious award were accused of putting women's rights last as they extended the award to 'all women'.
